I dont know about that. its seems to cheap to be real if ya look at the headers and just the headers on redlinemax.com the are like 800 bucks. Installing the headers would deffenatly provide some gains but with a price like 800 bucks your better off saving up alittle more money and getting a super charger or turbo.

Hey if your considering buy heards round up to 1000 bucks shipped and another 500 installed... why not say more money and get a turbo or super. Just my thoughts.

Not everyone is mechanicly apt to do this kinda job. Its not very hard but condsidering what ive heard people talk about on here, its better they have someone do it professionally.

Forget about the install, How much HP's will it give you, if you just install the the headers only, cuz those dynos are with the y-pipe and headers......Get the amount of HP gain then make your decsion...

Headers wont make shyt without a well desinged y-pipe.

Stagnet04

Yeah, I know that but they should be able to seperate the right amount from the y-pipe and from the headers, cuz if only 3-5 HP's are credited to the headers, then Fnck that, so much money for just as smooth of flow as one of my farts....

One more time?

LOL, ok, there must be a way to credit each component with the amount of HP's if gives you... Y-pipe=X amountof HP's....Headers= X amount of HP's and then Y-pipe+Headers= X amount of HP's.....does that make sense and if the amount from the headers alone is small then it's not worth it. Because you gotta figure, if your interested in headers, you already have an aftermarket Y-pipe or are about to buy one.....SO if the headers HP's is so minimal, you might aswell go with an intake, y-pipe, catback setup and STILL pay way less then the headers with basically the same gain... better

That's all you had to say.


But in essence a header could be engineered to death with a great design, but if the y-pipe to go with it is ..

Think if I wanted to blow $500 rather than goats, I would install a wet nitrous setup.

the majority of the gains seem from the header...y-pipe install is from the y-pipe...on 95-99 maximas the pre cats are in the y-pipe...so the manifolds arnt as restrictive as people would think
